With pleasure!

Our living-room is the largest room in our flat. My parents don’t like much furniture in the house, so in the living-room there are two comfortable …………..and a sofa, a coffee-table and a nice thick carpet on the floor. Opposite the window there is a wall unit. Of course there is a colour TV set, a stereo-recorder and a DVD-player in the living-room. A nice chandelier is hanging from the ceiling and there is a standard lamp to the left of the sofa. We like to receive our guests in this room.
Now I would like to describe our study. At first it was my daddy’s room, but as I grew older, it became mine. To tell you the truth, I am very happy to have a room for myself, that’s why I always try to keep it………………. There is a sofa, a writing table, …………..in my room. On the wall there are some shelves full of English, Ukrainian and Russian books. The dressing-table is next to the sofa. I have two pictures on the wall above the sofa.
Our bedroom is the smallest room in our flat. At night when my parents feel tired and sleepy, they share this room.
But the most popular and favourite place with all of us is the kitchen, as we spend most of our time there. We all are not big-eaters, but we use the kitchen as a place where we can have a chat about our problems and life.
In the kitchen, there are some stools, a table, …………, a sink with water taps,……………. Of course, we usually have our meals there.
We like our flat very much.
